    Quickest and easiest way to cycle tank

    if hes in tap water and your not decolrinating it hes in big trouble and the tank will not cycle water changes will make it worse since you will keep adding cloromines

  62. allan angus

    sticky stuff

    i use gorilla glue or aquarium safe silicone sealant ( no anti bacterial additives ). gorilla glue has been declared safe by the manufacturers. if you are gluing moses or plants then i use super glue the thick kind
